What could be causing eyelid asymmetry and how can it be corrected? (photos)

22F, my left eyelid is different than the right one since I can remember. My question is what the cause could be is it fat related, ptosis, eyebrow position etc. ? ( I feel like my left crease starts of higher and the eyebrow fat just kind of lies on top of my eyeball )

Thank you for sharing your good question. You can have fillers injected in the lower half of your face prior to the eyelid surgery. Confirm this with your surgeon. Good luck!

The final surgical procedure provided you have all the pertinent information - is completely up to you. Improvement of the left eye alone - is prob preferable since you do not have issues with the right eye

If anything you only have mild ptosis, I don't think it would be considered medical. Your eyelid margin needs to be less than 2mm from the midpoint of your pupil to be considered medical.Having said that, you would probably benefit from ptosis correction if you were to have an upper blepharoplasty.
